Post UI Tabs

Description

Show off your post content inside stylish jQuery powered tabs using one of 24 different jQuery UI themes or include your own custom stylesheet.

Filters

The plugin provides various filters to aid users, they are as follows

• put_decide_has_tabs: (bool) true/false value that determines whether to run the tabs script(runs inside a filter on the_content)
• put_theme_dir: (string) passes the theme directory uri
• put_stylesheet: (string) name of the stylesheet to use for tabs CSS
• put_skins: (array) passes the array of skins available to the plugin
• put_stylesheet_uri: (string) the full stylesheet uri used (easier hook for custom stylesheets)
• put_prev_text: (string) the text used for previous tab navigation(text not shown by default)
• put_next_text: (string) the text used for next tab navigation(text not shown by default)
• put_nav_class: (string) the classes applied to the prev and next navigation(second arg indicates prev or next text)
• put_trailing_linebreak: (bool) true/false value to determine whether or not to add a trailing <br /> (linebreak) after each tab set

A couple of actions are also available for when you’d rather just turn off skins and enqueue your own stylesheet

• put_enqueue_css: runs on front facing pages with tab sets when the Disable skins is enabled
• put_admin_enqueue_css: runs on the plugin settings page when the Disable skins is enabled

FAQ

So how do i create tabs?

Click one of the simple to use tinymce buttons provided by PUT in the post editor, quick tags are also available in the text editor.

or

Use the following format to write them directly into the post editor.

[tab name="Your tab name 1"]Your tab content[/tab] 
[tab name="Your tab name 2"]Your tab content[/tab]
[tab name="Your tab name 3"]Your tab content[/tab]
[end_tabset]

NOTE:
It is necessary for all tab sets end with the [end_tabset] shortcode, the tabs will not appear without this shortcode.
Please be aware that tab shortcodes can not be placed on the same line, this is a limitation of shortcode functionality in WordPress(and i do not wish to bloat this plugin with extra code to work around it).

Can i use HTML inside the tabs?

You may use any HTML the WordPress content editor usually allows inside the tab content, but not inside the tab names(which are sanitized seperately).

Can i use tabs in pages?

The plugin is not restricted to a particular kind of content, so yes pages, posts or custom post types(or at least any type that supports using the content editor).

Can i use other shortcodes inside the tab content?

Yes you should be able to, it has not been tested, but if you have any problems feel free to start a support topic right here in the www.ads-software.com forums.

Why do the tabs not look the same when i view them on the front facing side of my site?

It is possible your theme’s stylesheet is applying CSS to some of the tabs elements, please feel free to start a support topic if you need help making adjustments.

How can i remove the UI classes from the next and previous links?

Add the following to your theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( 'put_nav_class', '__return_empty_array' );

When using text nav links how i can change the link text?

You can modify the previous and next link text using the following in your theme’s functions.php file.

// Remove the UI classes(used by default to display nav icons)
add_filter( 'put_nav_class', '__return_empty_array' );

// Hook callback functions to the filters
add_filter( 'put_next_text', 'put_nav_next_text' );
add_filter( 'put_prev_text', 'put_nav_prev_text' );

// Callback to change the 'Next' text
function put_nav_next_text() { return 'Your next text'; }

// Callback to change the 'Previous' text
function put_nav_prev_text() { return 'Your previous text'; }

How do i include my own CSS in place of one of the jQuery UI themes?

Method one:
Using a stylesheet in your theme’s directory(will work for child themes to)

add_filter( 'put_stylesheet_uri', 'my_custom_put_stylesheet' );

function my_custom_put_stylesheet( $uri ) {
    return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/mycustom.css';
}

Method two:
Adding a filter from inside your own plugin file

add_filter( 'put_stylesheet_uri', 'my_plugin_put_stylesheet' );

function my_plugin_put_stylesheet( $uri ) {

    // If the stylesheet is in the plugin's main directory

    return plugins_url( '', __FILE__ ) . '/mycustom.css';
    // Eg. https://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/your-plugin/mycustom.css


    // If the stylesheet is in a subdirectory of the plugin

    return plugins_url( 'dir', __FILE__ ) . '/mycustom.css';
    // Eg. https://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/your-plugin/dir/mycustom.css
}

Method three:
Check the Disable skins option on the Post UI Tabs settings page and do either of the following.

• Add your own CSS to your theme’s stylesheet(typically style.css).
• Call wp_enqueue_style on the put_enqueue_styles action, ie. the regular WP enqueuing method.

Can i remove the linebreak that Post UI Tabs after each tab set?

You can, simply place the following code into your theme’s functions.php file or a plugin.

add_filter( 'put_trailing_linebreak', '__return_false' );
